The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin Chapter 15: What The Baby Does To People
Kael did not leave that bed for a long time.He sat at the edge of it, careful, not touching, eyes flicking to the dark window every few seconds, the tension never fully leaving his shoulders even as the storm wore itself out past three in the morning. Neither of us said much. Lyra slept against my chest, small and impossibly heavy for something so light."You should sleep," he said eventually."You first.""I do not sleep when something I cannot identify has just circled a building with a newborn inside it."He stayed until grey light came through the curtain. Then he stood, checked the window one final time, and told me he would come back the next day. He did. And the day after that. Quiet visits, always checking the room first, and somewhere in those uneasy days I understood that whatever had circled outside that night had unsettled him more than he wanted to say.The weeks that followed blurred together.Nobody warns you about the first days with a newborn. Feeding every two hours

"Where are you.""The old logging road." My voice cracked through gritted teeth. "Past the second bend. Near the dead tree. Kael, something is wrong, this is too fast, it is not supposed to come this fast.""Three weeks early is fast." His voice did not rise. It never rose. "I am two hours out. Turning around now. Listen to me, Laila, do not hang up this phone no matter what happens.""Two hours." A laugh tore out of me, wrong and wet and edged with panic. "I do not have two hours, Kael, I do not think I have twenty minutes.""Then you are going to walk faster than you have ever walked in your life."The wind hit the trees like something furious, branches cracking somewhere close enough to make my wolf flinch, and the first hard drops of freezing rain slammed against my face as I forced one foot forward, then another, the phone slipping in my sweating grip."Talk," I gasped. "Do not stop talking.""Noah is driving. I am beside him telling him to go faster than the law allows and he is
The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin Chapter 13: The Walk Home That Changed Everything
Three weeks passed the way good weeks do, quickly and without enough warning that I should have been paying closer attention.I trained with Kael four evenings a week now, my body adjusting to the rhythm of it even as my belly grew heavier and my balance shifted further from anything I recognized as mine. My technique was improving, slowly, the way real things improve, not in leaps but in small corrected habits that stacked on top of each other until one evening I blocked a strike Kael threw at half speed and he actually paused, just for a second, before nodding once."Better," he said.From him, that was practically poetry.The bakery work continued every morning, Marta still asking nothing and offering everything in her quiet, no-nonsense way. The motel room had slowly filled with small signs of a life being built rather than simply survived. A second plant. A proper blanket. My mother's photograph moved from the nightstand to a small shelf where I could see her from the bed, from t

I made it to the compound at six exactly.It sat well outside the town, gated and quiet, the kind of property that did not announce its power so much as simply assume you would feel it the moment you crossed onto the land. My wolf felt it instantly, the dense, layered scent of Nightshade pack territory pressing against her senses, old and deep and absolutely certain of itself.Kael was waiting in the training yard when I arrived, arms crossed, his Beta standing a few feet away wearing the same skeptical expression he had worn in the parking lot."This is Noah," Kael said, not looking at him. "He does not believe this is a good idea.""I did not say that," Noah said."You said it with your face."Noah did not deny it.I stood there in the cold evening air, my hand resting on my stomach out of habit now, and waited for whatever Kael was about to throw at me."First thing," he said. "I am not going to be gentle with you because you are pregnant. Gentle gets you killed. If you cannot keep

He found me again the next morning.I had not slept much after the rogues, my arm bruised where the third one had wrenched it, my body still running on the leftover adrenaline that had not fully drained out of me. I was awake before five anyway, habit by now, and I was standing at the small stove in the apartment above the bakery, the one Marta had quietly offered me two weeks earlier when she noticed I was still living out of a motel and said, without making it sound like charity, that the space upstairs was sitting empty and rent was cheap if I wanted it.The knock came at seven exactly.I knew it was him before I opened the door. My wolf knew it the moment the knuckles touched wood, that same overwhelming scent rolling under the door like weather moving in, and she sat up straight inside me, alert and unbothered by fear for the first time in longer than I could remember.I opened the door with my hair still wild from sleep and my eyes already doing what they had learned to do with
The Luna He Chose Was My Cousin Chapter 10: The Night Something Found Me In The Dark
The scent came back three nights later.I was walking home from the bakery later than usual, the streets emptier, the cold sharper now that the sun had been down for almost an hour, and my wolf caught it before I had even turned onto the road that led toward the motel. That same weight. That same unfamiliar Alpha signature, old and wide and carrying itself with the particular authority of a wolf who had never once had to ask permission for anything in his life.Closer this time.I stopped walking.The street was empty. Streetlamp at the corner buzzing faintly. Wind moving through the bare trees lining the road, carrying the cold and, underneath it, that scent, stronger now, deliberate, like it was no longer passing through but circling.My wolf rose to her feet inside me.I kept my back straight and my steps even and I did not run, because running announces fear and fear invites exactly the kind of attention I could not afford right now, six months pregnant and alone and three states
